The staff at Riad Arous Chamel was wonderful! Rachid made our stay feel like home and easy for us to navigate since we did not speak much of the local language. Breakfast was delicious, the hotel is gorgeous, and our stay was comfortable. Would definitely recommend if you are staying in Tangier!

A cute little gem in the medina of Tangier. The owner was super friendly, hospitable, and accommodating. Breakfast was refreshing and the terrace views were amazing. The only issue, our room was very humid which made it slightly uncomfortable to sleep in. Otherwise, it’s a great place and we would come back.

The Riad was hard to find. I hurt my leg on the trip and they were not really willing to help. We cut our stay short with them and went elsewhere. It was very cold in there and no heater. It was just a bad experience for us.

El hotel tiene una decoración muy bonita. Pero no son nada amables ni colaboradores. No tienen el mínimo interés de ayudarte con nada. Además Son poco claros con los precios Extra que cobran fuera de la reserva. Contratamos una habitación con baño privado y resulta que Al parecer era solo nuestra( supongo que porque la otra habitación estaba vacía...) porque no era dentro de la habitación . En fin, en mi opinión nada recomendable! De hecho ahora estamos en chaouen y el servicio es excelente!!! Y el precio inclusive más bajo.

Aceptable, desayuno estupendo

Riad en plena Medina, fue nuestra primera noche en Marruecos y el servicio muy atento para un primer acercamiento al país. Fue sin duda el mejor desayuno que tuvimos en toda la semana, ultra completo. Reservamos una habitación económica, simple, con baño privado pero separado de la habitación (no hay problema, pero se puede avisar). En baño faltaba un par de toallas (una para los pies en la bañera y una de mano). Recomendado poner una cortina en la bañera para no mojarlo todo. La habitación simple, el colchón algo antiguo y duro.

If you’re a fan of bad services, broken promises, nagging and inconvenient accommodations, then this place is for you! Be prepared to haul your luggage about half a kilometer to the Riad. Up and down stairs and hills. That’s really not bad. But when you arrive, you might get talked over by reception. Breathe deeply and let them show you your room. There will be no bathroom in your room. You’ll need to go down to the bottom floor, navigate a narrow stairwell with winding uneven height stairs in the middle of the night if nature calls. Don’t worry, you can hang a towel over the peephole in the bathroom door if you need privacy. If you’re really high maintenance and you don’t like the broken window in your room, your accommodated with a curtain that you can pull over the broken glass. We had to catch a flight and were leaving at 8:30 am the following morning. A taxi was arranged for the transport and that WAS perfect. Breakfast was supposed to be served for us at 8 since we were leaving early, a very nice gesture and we appreciated it. When we got to our table, the kitchen staff refused to give us our breakfast. The manager on duty went in to talk to the cook, she must have told him to leave, because he did. He told us that we wouldn’t get breakfast. Anyways, beautiful experience. Highly recommend this to people that I dislike.

Well-located traditional riad in the heart of the old city. You definitely have the feel of living in someones home. The bed was not the most comfortable, but breakfast on the roof was lovely and the people who run the place are friendly and attentive. Would stay again.

This is such an authentic experience. You won't get the flatscreen HDTV, you won't get the laundry service, you won't get the other amenities in a regular hotel. You get the real experience - narrow stairs, beautiful riad living, and a roof-top view that is to die for. If you are expecting a super comfortable bed, the easiest location to find, and a 24/7 concierge, go somewhere else. This is the real deal - prepare for real Tangiers living!
